The story of the creation of the Etesian solitaire

The creation of our Etesian solitaire dates back to the beginnings of Legion Paris in 2016. We wanted to offer a ring with a stone that 100% represents the DNA of what we are, our graphic universe, but this seemed impossible to us with the classic cuts found in jewelry such as the pear, the brilliant or the princess cut. We carried out several tests, developed dozens of prototypes but always without success, we did not find the perfect shape that illustrated the mystical side but also the contemporary elegance of Legion Paris.

The meeting with a Parisian lapidary, a renowned craftsman in the profession, is decisive when we decide to develop our “signature” stone cut . Several drawings and models are then necessary to obtain the perfect proportions. After many tests, we enthusiastically settle on this rosecut cut, that is to say without pavilion, in an irregular and pyramidal square . This will be set between 5 asymmetrical claws to finally give birth to our Etesian solitaire available in several versions, amethyst, black onyx, green tourmaline or red garnet.

Each stone is hand-cut here in France by expert craftsmen, each stone is unique and uncalibrated, giving each new creation a unique brilliance and elegance to the ring it sits on.

In the images above you can see the raw crystals as they are collected in nature as well as the cut stone before being set on the ring.
